Dana has been our pet sitter for the past two years. We love her!! She takes care of our girls as if they were her own. Cats can be particular about who they trust , our Raya and Savannah love when Dana cat sits . Dana spends time playing, petting , and handing out treats . She sends us photos so we know our girls are adjusting fine when we are away. We are so thankful for Dana’s professional care. She has allowed us to have peace of mind while we are traveling!
We love Dana so much!!!! Our dogs love her probably more than us LOL. She spoils our boys too much! In all seriousness she is amazing, trustworthy, and an honest hardworking woman! Highly recommended! Five stars!
The owner, Dana, is the best! My dogs love her! They are always excited to see her and she always gives my dogs the upmost care! I trust her 100%! Thank you so much for loving my dogs! It is truly your calling!
Dana is so amazing with all my pets! From dogs to cats! She is a god sent angel from heaven. She truly loves animals so much and goes out of her way to go above and beyond for her clients!
Dana was a godsend to us when we recently moved to Bradenton! We were looking for someone to train our rescue dog, Charlie, who has some unique issues with resource guarding and getting along with other dogs to name a few. Dana has done an amazing job and has gone out of her way to personalize a training plan for Charlie that is working! She is a wealth of knowledge, has a passion for animals, is reliable and dependable, and Charlie loves her! So do our 3 cats! We plan to have her do pet setting for us, she even does overnights! I highly recommend!
Dana was awesome helping us train our rescue dog, Nola. Dana was kind, patient, gave us lots of tips and was constantly sending us videos and articles to assist with the training at home. I highly recommend Dana if you need someone for training your dog. She's the best and extremely affordable. She even comes to your house which really helped to have Nola in her own comfortable environment.
so, I met Dana when we got our new puppy who was only nine weeks old and has been with us every week since and he is now seven months old! She is fantastic with him, and I know Juno just loves her. She has helped us out so much with Juno‘s training and helps to break up the days that my husband and I are at work. What a great service to offer, these drop ins! I trust her immensely and she is just a genuinely a great person ❤️🐶
Dana is...absolutely one of a kind. There aren't enough words to express how wonderful she is. If you're looking for someone who doesn't JUST walk your dog(s) but connects with them, builds their confidence, and loves them wholly then you've met your match. My husband and I desperately needed a dog walker who could handle our 3 rowdy pups of all different breeds, walk styles, and temperaments (and who are on the stranger danger side!). Dana was more than happy to do a meet and greet with them. They're bit challenging but Dana reassured us she loves a good challenge and all three seem to adore her so much. She responsive, is always willing to answer your questions, and sends so many updates of their walks! Really couldn't ask for a more perfect match. She does have a busy and jam packed schedule so if you want her, gotta reach out to her asap!!
Dana is exceptionally responsible and communicative. While Dana is with our dog Coco, she sends updates and photos so we know all about the day’s fun. Coco is in the safest of care with Dana and absolutely adores her. We are really lucky to have found Dana.
Dana is the most hardworking, caring, and thoughtful person I have met. She has done outstanding work with our two dogs and our cat. The training she has done with them has helped us out so much, she was even able to teach me, my mom, and our 12 year old dog some new tricks and brings his puppy energy back out every-time he sees her. She cares about our pets like they are her own. I do not know what we would do without her.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We cannot thank you, Cheyenne enough for stepping in at extremely short notice to look after our two kitties! We reached out to her on a weekend, less than 24 hours before leaving for a 10-day family vacation after our previous care arrangement let us down. Cheyenne called me back right away and, within a few hours, was at our home for a meet-and-greet to ensure we and our kitties felt comfortable. Her communication was impeccable—she kept us updated twice each day with detailed messages. She spent quality time with our cats, informing us about their eating habits, potty routines, and included plenty of photos. Our older kitty, who is usually shy around strangers, was completely comfortable with her, as evident in the pictures. Cheyenne, truly an angel. Her professionalism and reliability we absolutely top-notch!! We will absolutely be reaching out to her the next time we need help with our kitties! and would hands down recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Cheyenne!!! 🙏🐱❤️
Cheyenne watched me two dogs in her home while I had a trip out of town. She has previously helped with walks and met them at my home, but this was my first time using her as a sitter. I'm always nervous with new sitters but she did an amazing job and my dogs clearly had a wonderful time! I appreciated how thorough her paperwork was at getting health information, preferences, etc. Super professional. She gave me updates while I was gone at the perfect frequency and I had complete confidence that everything was going well. 10/10, highly recommend, would absolutely use again!
Our River had the best time at Shiney Day! We are always so nervous to leave our baby! Cheyenne kept me up to date with how River was doing. She sent me lots of photos too! We will definitely use her services again!
Kaitlin Newman is amazing! As someone new to the Port Charlotte area and working long hours I was nervous bringing a new walker into my home. Once meeting Kaitlin those worried were instantly over. Jacque (my French Bulldog) can be a handful at time but Kaitlin took on the challenge. She treats Jacque as if he is her own. She finds joy in each and every visit with Jacque. Additionally, her communication is never lacking. She makes me aware if she will be running behind or if there is something alarming going on with Jacque. I look forward to her summary and photos daily, which is always lovely to receive during a stressful work day. Kaitlin has even hosted Jacque for two overnight boarding session in which he has been on his best behavior. Jacque is not socialized often with other dogs, so I feared having him around 5 other dogs at once but Kaitlin had no issues acclimating Jacque to the new environment. I knew he had the best of time when he would get home and sleep for the rest of evening and was even unwilling to do his usual walks the following day due to the fun filled weekend. I highly recommend Kaitlin and the Shiney Day company!
Cheyenne has taken care of my two house rabbits many times over the past several years. Between her vet tech expertise, her love of animals of all kinds and her super organized scheduling/communication platform, I always know the rabbits are in good hands. I love seeing the photos and status reports she posts during her visits. It's great to be able to get away and trust your pet sitter 100%. I highly recommend Cheyenne!
Cheyenne is the best! I trust her completely when I am away from my fur babies and they love her. Very good at communication.
Cheyenne is great! We were searching for a sitter who could take care of our furbabies while we are out of town. We have 2 aging cats with minor health issues. We feel totally at ease leaving them in Cheyenne's care. She is not only very responsive and reliable, but she also would know what to do if our cats had any health issues while we are gone. And she keeps you informed with notes and pictures every time she visits your pets. We highly recommend Shiney Day Specialized Pet Care and Cheyenne to anyone wanting peace of mind with their pet care.
Cheyenne is great, very trustworthy and reliable! She always updates you on her visit and will reach out with any concerns. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog-walker or any other of her provided services; I can guarantee your pet will be in the best hands!
Extremely professional service, website is easy to navigate and user friendly for scheduling. Extensive feedback is provided with each visit, all for a very generous price for what is given. I feel more than comfortable with Cheyenne being responsible for the scheduled visit, along with her being in my home and taking care of my dog. She’s a true animal lover, it’s highly evident how much she genuinely cares about the health and well-being of our pets. She always goes above and beyond, addresses any possible concerns she has, even those that are not hers to worry about. She is amazing at what she does and I’d recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog walker / in need of pet services.
Cheyenne and Shiney Day Pet Care are the best! Not only was she extremely quick with communication but also very accommodating with last minute changes. She loves animals so much, which makes me happy as an owner because then I know my cats are in good hands. And if you have a sick animal, she knows how to take care of them. It’s nice to have someone taking care of your animals who you can also seek ask advice from. My cat was extreme my old and sick when Cheyenne gave her the best care and helped me with figuring out what was best for her.
Very disappointed with how staff handled this. I have been taking my 3 year old yellow Labrador here for daycare several times a week for 9 months without any known issues. He loves going and allowed him to interact and play with other dogs his size. Monday I dropped him off as usual only to be called an hour later and told I had to pick him up because he pinned down three dogs by the neck. I was mortified and went right over to pick him up thinking he wasn’t feeling good. After getting him home I realized he was just fine and then questioned what had happened. He has been to dozens of days care facility around the country while I traveled and has never once had this happen or shown ANY signs of aggression towards anything. In fact he was sometime placed with the smaller dogs because he is so gentle. I then called the Woof this morning to see if I could take him over and was told NO because they had new dogs coming in and it would be to much. I now know that he was only playing and that the problem is the young lady who called is not properly trained to handle situations and overreacted. Additionally they are taking way to many animals in at once and either need more space or less dogs per day.
Our dogs absolutely LOVE The Woof. The staff has been wonderful. The kennels are super clean and the outside play areas are as well. You can tell they pay attention to details and really care about our dogs as much as we do n
The Woof on Cortez has become our new favorite boarding spot for our dog! The staff is super friendly! The hours of operation allow for a lot of flexibility in dropping off and picking up, and best of all, our dog gets to socialize and play with the other dogs while there! I liked that there is a required trial day before boarding is allowed to be scheduled… to get to know a dog and make sure it is social and not aggressive. All in all, it makes me happy knowing our dog has a place to play and have fun while we are away instead of being stuck in a kennel somewhere for a couple of days!
The Woof is the BEST! My pup loves running and playing with her friends! I feel so comforted knowing she’s well taken care of while I work a full day! They take pics of your pups too so you can check in and see how your fur babies are doing!
The woof is an awesome place. I boarded my pup for five nights when I went out of town. I was a little nervous since my mom is the only person who ever watches her. All of that was relieved immediately with how attentive and accommodating the staff and owners were. I received pictures via text several times a day and she looked so happy (and she is sometimes on the anxious side). Anytime I texted the number for an update I got an immediate and friendly response. The staff was awesome and very nice. They also offered a bath as an add on and they did a great job. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. I had a great experience with them and absolutely would recommend!
The folks at The Woof are the most caring, attentive people I have ever met in the industry. Since they opened they have built an amazing relationship with my family and my dog, who I never liked to leave with anybody! This is now my furbaby’s favorite place and it’s such a blessing!
The Wolf on Cortez is the best place to home your dog in the Bradenton area. They’ve got all the activities and really love on your pup while making sure all their needs are met. We have nothing but good things to say about them and trust them completely with our boxer. If you’re looking for a place to home your dog while you’re on vacation or just wanting them to get some socialization at this is definitely a place with the right prices and the right crew. Check them out.
My dog loves playing, im told shes the last to settle down, however, i picked her up one day after work and was told she hurt her leg trying to jump the 6 ft fence. I brushed it off, then i boarded her for 9 days, on the 9th day they call me and tell me shes really sick and cant find a vet. Apparently my vet died while i was out of town. My dog didnt just wake up sick that day, she was pretty sick when i got there. A place thats caring for animals should ALWAYS have a go to vet. They did offer to pay vet bill which i thought was odd. After getting her healthy, i figured she could go daily, no more boarding...well 2 weeks later she got sick again, thankfully i caught it quickly. My new vet suggested a cleanliness issue. After 600+ dollar vet bills, she wont be back. Id like to add that i never met the owners, saw a lot of employee turnover, which makes me wonder if staff is properly trained.
The woof is the most amazing daycare not only a place where you can feel safe, but a place where they will love your dogs like you do when Walden became sick I was immediately telephoned and Mandy the manager met me at my vets office to make sure my puppy was well taken care of I cannot say enough about this place they will love your pets as you do how lucky I am to have a place so close to home! What amazing, compassionate people so lucky to consider them the second home from my puppy
We love knowing our fur baby is in great hands here! Always willing to take him in for a day of daycare or boarding when we go away for a weekend. Our dog loves going and bolts to the door each time! Always posting pics to keep us up to date along with sending us updates via text message. Accommodating, friendly, clean ! Would recommend to our friends and family!
We had a great experience having Jean take care of our dogs for 36 days. They were is great shape when we picked them up and happy to see us, they also like Jean a lot. We met a friend whose dog was with Jean and she saw our dogs running in the back yard having a good time. We will use Jean again this summer when we travel. Jeff Heath
We’ve now used Jeannie several times and every time we are extremely pleased with her services. Our two dogs love her and she takes great care of the dogs and our home. One time a syringe that we were using for an ear infection broke. Jeannie drove to our vets office to get a new syringe so she could keep up with the ear medication. That’s just one example of the care she provides.
Hi everyone, We left our Miniature Purebred Poodle Lilli with Jeanne Holm for a week to travel to NYC for our son’s wedding. Michael and I were both nervous wreck's. Never was our Lilli (22months Old) left with anyone. I have to tell you that after meeting Jeanne our fears were gone. Jeanne exudes confidence as a Pet Sitter Lilli loved her right away. The two warmed up to one another immediately. Jeanne is a professional and has all her paperwork in order to be filled out online. My husband as a retired physician appreciated that everything was discussed and written. She is truly interested to know about your pet. During the day and everyday you receive photos, videos and messages about your pet. Also if there are questions she reaches out. You and your pet have to have this wonderful experience with Jeanne to understand what I am speaking about.. Aunt Jeanne will be the only one for Lilli.❤️❤️❤️🌹
Jeannie was recommended recently to us by friends of ours in our neighborhood in Bradenton. They went away on a 30 day cruise and Jeannie took care of both of their dogs while they were gone. They had nothing but good things to say about her so we asked her to watch our pup while we were out of town! Jeannie went above and beyond to make sure that our little girl was safe, well taken care of, and happy. She was very thorough in gathering information about our dog before we left her with her and thought of everything! Even things that I hadn’t….such as reaching out to our veterinarian to let them know that our dog would be with a sitter in the event that Jeannie had to take our pup there while we were gone. She was very accommodating in keeping Gema on her normal schedule, giving her medications, feeding her as instructed, etc. I was even able to FaceTime with our pup on a couple of occasions while we were gone, which gave me so much peace of mind! Our flight got in rather late in the evening, so upon our return, I asked Jeannie if she could drop Gema off at our place after dinner so that she would be here when we came home. Jeannie was happy to do this, and we were thrilled to see her a little girl when we finally got home! We appreciated everything that Jeannie did, and the communication while we were gone to let us know that everything was going well. Couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our pup! We highly recommend Jeannie and trust our little girl completely with her!!! :)
Jeannie took great care of my dog while I was gone. I’d never had someone that I didn’t know watch my dog, so I was a bit nervous about it. But the experience was great. Jeannie cared for my dog so well, and it became clear to me that she truly enjoys this work. Communication was outstanding. She texted me a few times a day to give me status updates while I was away. Highly recommend.
I am so thrilled to have found Jean, owner of Best Buddies Pet Sitting service in Bradenton FL to take care of my one year old Cavapoo overnight in her home. She is so kind, caring and responsible with my fur baby that I can leave with absolutely no worries at all. You can tell she truly loves what she does! She is wonderful about sending daily texts and pictures which I greatly appreciate. Jean, you are the best and I thank you for taking such great care of Gracie!
Jeannie was an absolute dream of a pet sitter. We were out of the country for two weeks. We never had a worry. She sent us photos and videos everyday. When we returned home our house was in better shape than when we left. Jeannie stayed at our house and took perfect care of our dog, Lady Di. Our adorable little girl is not always the little angel she is for us. She was a rescue and is extremely fearful of people. She has been known to bark, snap and growl at anyone who approaches her. She immediately took to Jeannie somehow knowing that Jeannie was someone she could trust and love. I would never hesitate to recommend Jeannie and rate her an over the top #10
I highly recommend Best Buddies Pet Services. Jeannie watched my 3 senior pets for two weeks and during this time kept my house neat and kept in touch with us sending pictures and videos on a regular basis. She did an awesome job. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. She was a blessing!
Jeannie has been caring for my 3 dogs and 2 cats now for quite a few months and I would recommend her to anyone!! I have three senior dogs who all require a lot of specific care and medicine. When I’m away on business, for the first time, I am totally comfortable knowing that they will be fine with her. They genuinely have great affection for her, as she does them. In fact, she is one of the 4 people In the world that my cat actually accepts as well. Her knowledge of pet CPR is a huge plus. If you are like me, and hate leaving your pets with someone else, trust me- having her care for them will give you peace of mind!!!
RE: Jeannie Holm, Best Buddies Petsitting Services We consider ourselves lucky to have the privilege of working with Jeannie Holm of Best Buddies Petsitting services. Our household consists of five rescue dogs, each with unique needs and medications to be administered, making pet care quite the challenge. Jeannie has shown an unwavering level of understanding and care for each of our pets, taking care to cater to their individual needs and habits. Under her watchful eye, our pets have not only maintained their good health, but have actually improved in their behaviors while we are away. As homeowners, we take great pride in the cleanliness and security of our space. When we return from our travels, we are pleased to find our home in impeccable condition thanks to Jeanie's exceptional service. With our commitment to our rescue dogs and their specialized care, we entrust Jeannie with this great responsibility when we travel. We depend on her knowledgeable and dedicated care for our pets and our home, and trust her services completely. In truth, our lifestyle would not be possible without the assistance of Jeannie, and we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such a capable and compassionate caregiver. With appreciation, Bob & Audri
I am so thankful for this service. I could tell from the "meet and greet" that Dawn and her family were going to be wonderful with Dolly and give her lots of attention. We had left her at a kennel one time and she came home depressed for a few days. When we picked Dolly up from Dawn, she was her normal, happy self. I could tell that she was comfortable staying there and I am sure they took great care of her. We will definitely use this service again.
Amazing job!! They left my Bernedoodle and old English sheep dog beautiful!! They communicated with me quickly and they didn’t cage my dogs like other places. I recommend them 100%
So Happy to have found a place for my Princess!! She was well taken care of and shown so much love! She was groomed perfectly and had her nails trimmed! I appreciate it so much and will definitely be back!
It was my first time taking my two labs to get groomed and i loved it! My two labs came back so happy and soft! If you’re looking for a place for your pups to get nice, clean and shiny this is the place to go too! 10/10 experience!!!
My pup Arie has always been picky about who grooms her so it's hard to find her a good groomer, but she loved Leo, Victor, and the entire staff at My Happy Puppy. She was left smelling so fresh and clean, plus her nails were so nicely trimmed. I'll definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend this local small business for all of your pups needs.
My friend brought his puppy to My Happy Puppy and we both couldn’t be happier with the result. The groomer was very professional and the quality of the service exceeded our expectations. For reasons of privacy we didn’t want to include any pictures. We foreseen taking his dog to this groomer from this point on. I strongly recommend their services. Love these guys!
First time there! I discovered them on Facebook and decided to support local businesses since I moved here. The guys here are very nice and my dogs are happy and playing after their day with My Happy Puppy.
We recently had our beloved fur baby groomed by My Happy Puppy, and we were overwhelmed by the level of care and attention they provided. They were extremely warm and knowledgeable, and our fur baby looked amazing after the grooming session. We highly recommend My Happy Puppy to all pet parents out there who want the best for their furry pals.
Our first grooming session with My Happy Puppy was paws-itively perfect! The team was incredibly friendly, and they did an amazing job with our fur baby. Highly recommend them to all pet parents out there!
Thanks for growing the hair of my poppy you’re amazing person and always take care my lovely friend Lola
Great place great service 10/10
All I can say is this place admitted having NO management. They put small dogs outside at 93 degrees and Peppy became dehydrated. Tomorrow he is to be tested for organ damage. He can’t keep his food down and he does mother but lay around when he used to be a high strung 12 month old puppy that loved to play with other dogs.
This facility lacks attention to the needs of the pets entrusted to their care. In addition, they charge a high price for boarding services while delivering minimal value. Recommend you keep searching for other long term boarding options for your pet.
Thank you so much to the team at pet suites for caring for our fur babies. They have so many ways to communicate we loved talking with the staff and seeing our fur friends via camera daily. We will be back soon
I called once and texted twice on Monday 10/28 to see if I could bring my 2 dogs to doggie day care on Tuesday. I never heard back, so I had to change my plans for Tuesday. I also had purchased a package and received an email that I was about to lose my "points" ($$ to me) if I didn't use it by 10/30! Well I am not happy as I bring my girls there often and they love it (I hope). We did have 2 storms that also prevented me from trying to use up my package....not sure I will buy another package if the rules are so strict. I would like to have sent a message to a "boss", but this seems to be only way I see to contact PetSuites
I called at 7:30 pm and asked if I got there a few minutes before 8pm(when they close) could I pick up my dogs. I was told no I couldn’t pick them up after 7:30. I know it takes time to get them ready for pick up and that is why I called. So this morning when I went to pick them up I asked when is the latest I could pick them up they said 8. I boarded my dogs because I had a funeral to go to out of state(they didn’t know this) and we have a threat of a hurricane tomorrow so you would think a little grace would be given because of the storm but no. So given the 2 different answers makes me wonder if it’s a training issue or was I lied to?
Groomer Amy is fantastic. We have an Australian terrier named Griffey. We tried many different groomers in the area. Griffey was a very challenging to groom. Initially we had to medicate him on his groom day. Amy worked with him several times and then requested that I not medicate him. That was 1 year ago. He goes in very scruffy and comes home a prince. He also uses the play day services. He plays hard and comes home tired. My husband and I would highly recommend Amy as a groomer and the staff at pet suites
The Ritz Carlton of Doggie Stays! Amy has been great with letting us know what services they can provide for our hard to care for dogs! Thank you for respecting our vacation time and for caring for them so well!
Wanted to follow up on a new review- PetSuites Bradenton has improved dramatically! I am seeing a change in how the staff have stepped up their customer service. Management has made a course correction and it shows. Staff greets customers now (instead of being grumpy all the time). The change is infectious- customers and pets are happy to come over and when I pick up my dog, she’s in a good mood just like when I drop her off. I’m very happy that PetSuites are listening to customers and making those changes stick. I also see that the new team members are attentive and engaging. Makes a big difference when you get team members that actually want to do their job and not act like they’re annoyed by everything.
Just don’t bring your pet here until they have proper staffing. I never leave reviews because I don’t like trashing companies but when it comes to my dogs, that’s a different story. I don’t want other dog owners bringing their dogs here and having a bad experience like I did. Dropped my dogs off yesterday for their first day, one girl working the front desk , line out the door. Not her fault the place doesn’t have adequate staff. Took 25 minutes for check in. This is where I got mad and concerned. I picked them up 6 hours later and asked if they had fun/ played/ ate… the girl said “she had nothing to do with them.” ….what?? Then she brought them out and I asked if they had play time and she said, “I think they went outside, not sure”. I wanted to flip out. So I brought my dogs to a place for them to sit in a kennel for 6 hours…? They got in the car and chugged water so fast. Then I got a text after I reached out to the only person communicating with me throughout the day, TELLING ME THE DAYCARE WAS CLOSED bc of lack of staff!!!!!! I wanted to scream. Just tell me that before so I don’t waste my time driving there!! There were also a ton of dogs howling and crying in the back. I’m glad my dogs are safe but I’m now concerned about all these other dogs there. It was just so chaotic and unprofessional. The groomer was really nice though, she was the only one helping in the morning. I'm waiting for a call from management which I’m not sure is happening. I’m not messing around when it comes to the care of animals.
Our dogs had a great stay. They were happy coming home and smelled clean and fresh. Their weight was well maintained, and had received a good “paw-gress” report. The price was extremely reasonable, and we received an unexpected multi-pet discount. We will continue to choose PetSuites for our future needs.
I am so incredibly thankful that I went with Ashley to watch my two kitties. She made sure to text me every day with photos and videos of giving them some love while I was away during the holidays. Leaving your fur babies behind with someone new is always nerve wracking, but she was totally understanding and took that anxiety away. She’s wonderful and I highly recommend! Thank you so much, Ashley!
Ashley is an actual dog whisperer and one of our most reliable dog sitters in the area. She is an excellent communicator and our dog is always so excited to see her. She will walk our dog no matter how hot it is! If you want she will talk in a very cute voice to your dog, it is the best, Ashley is the best!
We love Ashley! She’s reliable and is a big help for me. And takes great care of my babes. She also sends me pics every time she walks them, which I love. Highly recommend her
I am so lucky to have found Ashley! I have been a snowbird to Florida for the past seven years, and have never been able to leave my cats for an overnight or an extended trip. Last season I was able to meet my family in Orlando for four nights and then I spent a couple nights in Miami all because I was able to leave the cats in great hands! I feel safe leaving my cats with Ashley because she has experience with animals and she is very calm with the cats. She talks to them and she communicates with me on when she arrives and leaves. She sends pictures and lets me know their mood or behavior. This is much nicer than having a friend or family member come over to “check on the cat”, because they are not professionals, and they may not have my cats best interest at heart. Plus, I don’t have any friends or family to help. Also…. when I return to my condo, after Ashley has been there, everything looks perfect! Litter box is clean, floor is clean! I’m looking forward to seeing Ashley again this winter and I know that I can count on her if I want to leave Sarasota for a few nights that my cats will be in good hands. 👍🏻😊😻
I just want to spread what a great experience we had using Ashley as our Pet Sitter. We were gone for 8 days out of the country, she stayed at our house & made the entire experience so comfortable for Us & our dogs 🐶 The best experience, Highly recommend! …
We can’t say enough about Ashley - her knowledge and care for animals and her going above and beyond to help us save 2 precious cats. An older member of my family has been in and out of the hospital & rehab for the last couple of months and now is also moving. I lived 2 hours away and was unable to help with the cats. A great neighbor has been feeding them and cleaning the litter box, but without their mom (my family member), they’ve become very scared. Ashley agreed to safely capture each cat from their deep hiding places and transport them to their vet for boarding. Sounds easy, right? No, it was challenging, but after several hours, Ashely successfully captured each one and got them to the vet. From the very beginning, she understood our situation and was so willing to help us. Knowing that someone with her expertise could help gave us great peace. And her fee was nominal, considering how complex the process was. Thank you, Ashley!!
Wow!!! I’m so happy I found Ashley! She’s amazing with my two fur babies! Long gone are the days of asking family and friends to stop by the house when I’m out of town. Ashley takes care of them whenever I need to travel. When she comes over, they run to the door, so excited to see her! :) She’s reliable and professional, yet silly and sweet with the kiddos. Coming from the world of Veterinary care makes me feel more comfortable too. I know they’re in good hands when I’m not home. Ashley is awesome!! Plain and simple! :)
Our dogs adore Ashley and she’s kind enough to share a bed with them! Her prior experience as a vet assistant allows us to travel without worries. We are fully confident in Ashley’s abilities and care. Our two are not without their challenges and she handles them perfectly. Communication is always timely.
Ashley has been a god send for my fur baby. She takes excellent care of my dog and even sends me videos and provides updates on how he is doing. Her flexibility has been great for last minute needs. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend Ashley for anyone seeking exceptional care for their pets. You can really see how much she loves animals in the way she takes care of them. She’s super knowledgeable and treats your pets like they’re her own. If you want someone who genuinely cares about your furry friends, Ashley is the one to go to!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience with April (Sweet Paws & Pads) watching Peaches this Labor Day Weekend. She welcomed Peaches into her home for Private PUPPY Boarding with Peaches immediately making a new friend, 'Maui'. Peaches looked so happy every time we received photos and updates from April. From 'Luxury' Boarding (our definition of her experience) Peaches received to our peace of mind, we highly recommend Sweet Paws & Pads if you need someone to watch your pet!!
We are so happy to have found Sweet Paws and Pads! Our puppy has a brilliant time during her visits. We receive a helpful summary of the visit and photos! We feel comfortable, and reassured with this company! Thank you to the caring staff! We will be using Sweet Paws and Pads again.
April and her team took such great care of our 3 pups while we were away! It gave us peace of mind so we could relax and enjoy our vacation! I will be sure to call on them for any future travel plans!
I cannot tell you enough what a great group of people work for Sweet Paws and Pads. They are true dog lovers. First time I ever left my dogs home alone and we were so happy that we didn't have to kennel them. We got great updates for every single visit, including plenty of pictures. They were well taken care of. Will always use them in the future. Thank you team!!!
I would highly recommend Sweet Paws & Pads to anyone who needs a reliable and caring pet sitter. Apil was amazing with getting Jax on their schedule on short notice. They are not only good at their job, but they also love animals and treat them as their own. Jax absolutely loves it when Melissa comes to visit him and can't wait to see her again. Thank you, Sweet Paws & Pads, for taking such good care of my furry son!
We love Sweet Paws and Pads! They have turned our mini weekend getaways into the most convenient! Our pups, love them! The unique way they have turned pet sitting into a very special experience for their customers and pets is very special! The effort they put into every detail doesn’t go unnoticed as a pet owner. Their efforts have exceeded my expectations! April and her staff are top notch
We have been struggling to find dependable and communicative pet sitters in the area and after our first experience using Sweet Paws and Pads, we will be using them every time we are out of town. Sweet Paws and Pads went far beyond our expectations for a pet sitter and would highly recommend them to everyone we know!
Sweet Paws and Pads stayed with my little zoo for a weekend. They showed up on time, sent lots of pictures, my dogs and cats seemed very happy to have them there. We had them stay overnight and everything was perfect when we got home. Great communication and they were excellent with my little zoo. We will use them again!!
Sweet Paws & Pads did a fantastic job taking care of our dog for 5 days while we were out of town. The consistent updates and pictures were so helpful! Their team makes your pet a priority and our family had the utmost comfort our dog was in great care. We'll definitely use Sweet Paws & Pads for future pet care needs! Thank you again!
I wish I could give more than 5* for Sweet Paws & Pads!! I travel frequently and they are always available - even at the last minute - to come take care of my pups. They have a wide variety of services which allows me to customize the care of my pups no matter the situation. I love getting the photo updates and knowing my fur babies are being well taken care of while I am away. I can’t recommend April and her team enough…they are the absolute best ❤️🐶🐾
I used Caren’s services once. I was looking for a sitter who would be able to give a liquid medication to my cat on a daily basis . Lisa did a great job! I recommend Caren’s services to a few of my friends and all of them were very happy with their sitters. Will definitely use the service again! Thank you for your help!
I was very happy with the service that was provided. We ended up booking kind of last minute for Thanksgiving due to. We decided not to take Jasper with us, even though it was a pet friendly hotel. They made sure to keep Jasper, happy and healthy while we are away from home. Very happy and will definitely use the service again!
Caryn was absolutely amazing!! I just got back home from visiting family and my babies had the best time with Caryn ♥️🙏🏼I have a 12yr English bulldog and 6yr Frenchie and they can be a lot to take care of but she kept their routine right on track and updated me throughout her stay!! I think I was more nervous leaving them but so glad I chose Caryn it’s so true “Peace of Mind” is exactly what you get!! Thank you so much for loving my babies and taking care of my home🙏🏼♥️🐶🐶
Caryn is a great sitter. She sent pictures every day and never hesitated to call with questions if needed. The “kids” were not stressed and fine when we got home. So thankful for that so we could have a stress free time on vacation.
Highly recommend Peace of Mind Pet Sitters. Caryn (the owner) is extremely communicative throughout the whole process and was very easy to schedule with just a few days before we needed service. Lisa, our pet sitter, was just as wonderful. She sent texts and updates during her check-in with our pets, and she was so kind and caring. They truly care about your pets, and it shows. I will definitely use them again for our future needs! :)
I am happy to recommend Caryn Hodge and her colleague, Edna, as excellent, reliable pet sitters. My dog is 13 and I want him at home when I am away. Caryn promptly responded to my request for pet sitting and introduced my dog and me to Edna who has provided great care and attention to my dog.
Lisa provided great care of my cats. She was always on time and communicated regularly with their status. Definitely recommend Peace of Mind Per Sitters.
Fantastic experience from go! I needed a pet sitter while one of my dogs was recovering from a surgery and my pet sitter was punctual, very attentive, and communicative throughout. My dogs took to her almost immediately and I would highly recommend.
Great attention to specific needs of senior pets and those with medical issues. Knowledge of pet behaviors is incredible. Highly recommend, especially when your pet needs to stay in its familiar environment.
I used Peace of Mind Pet Sitters for the first time under difficult circumstances. My mother died unexpectedly and I needed to travel to MI. Caryn was able to get Rebecca to stay at my house and watch my Yorkies. She sent pictures and updates that were a great comfort. Rebecca also left my house in excellent condition. I would use them again.
